IN A TIME OF PLAGUEIn light of California Governor Gavin Newsom's "shelter in place" orders, and in consideration of the guidelines set forth by the CDC to combat the spread of COVID-19, all requests for on-premises investigations will be put on hold until otherwise deemed safe to resume normal daily operations. Additionally, PPI's 2020 "Science and The Beyond" presentations scheduled at local public libraries and learning institutions in the month of October have been postponed. We are currently considering a "distance education" version of our presentations to offer instead, details of which will be made available in the coming months. In the meantime, please remember to responsibly socially distance yourself, wear your mask in public, and safeguard your health and the well-being of others. We wish all of you the very, very best. Remember to vote early by mail! |

Estep, Sarah: Attracted to EVP researcher Konstantīns Raudive in his study of electronic voice phenomena, American Sarah Wilson Estep (1928-2008) not only joined ranks with him in Europe, she extended his research and brought it to the U.S., where in 1982 she launched, both, the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomenon and her book, Voices of Eternity. Estep is largely responsible for our current system of EVP phenomena into Class C, Class B, and Class A anomalies: Classification A EVP: "A clear and distinct voice or sound that is universally accepted and undisputed, because it must be understood by anyone with normal hearing and without being told or prompted to what is being said or heard. It can be heard without the use of headphones." Classification B EVP: "A voice or sound that is distinct and fairly loud. This class of voice is more common and can be heard by most people after being told what to listen for. It is usually audible to experienced persons who have learned the skill of listening to EVP. It can sometimes be heard without the use of headphones." Classification C EVP: "A faint and whispery voice or sound that can barely be heard and is sometimes indecipherable and unintelligible. It may have paranormal characteristics, such as a mechanical sound. Most investigators would apply objectivity and disregard it, but may save it for reference purposes."
